Great Set of Spiral Reviews
I started teaching at the beginning of February in a third grade classroom. I am filling a teacher's leave until the end of school. THe other third grade teachers gave me spiral review activity sheets to use during morning work for a few weeks. I noticed that they had their own set of spiral reviews and they were all a little different. I used them for 2 or 3 weeks and decided to look online for my own. Since I am a new teacher, I do not have alot of money and I am having to be really frugal. I am even considering trying to make my own, but just can't find the time. As I was lookingon TPT, I came across your Daily Math SPiral Review and I loved it! I like the way it is laid out and I started using them in my classroom. I love them and my students seem to understand the questions/problems on the worksheets. I hope to make my own set one day, but was glad to find yours on TPT.
Year-long review
While this covers standards for 6th grade ELA, I wish there is more variety in the types of questions. It is also difficult to review all of the concepts when some of them are taught later in the year.
Great resource
Loved the variety of activities (both guided and independent) to practice using dialogue in writing.
Lovely resource
This was a great resource to support deeper thinking for my Grade 5/6 book clubs! Highly recommend.
Kids love doing these!
These are a refreshing way to take notes that can become rather monotonous. There are tons of options which helps to be able to pick and choose what you need to focus on and the options are there. The only thing is that they took a long time to download and sort.

Hello Dayna!
Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to reach out. At this time, I don't have plans to create new novel units. However, if my schedule allows in the future, I will make sure to consider The Indian in the Cupboard.

Answer key
I purchased this resource and was looking for an answer key for it. Is there one? Or one that has examples of possible answers?
Hello, Bree! These do not include sample answers since the questions are so open-ended. Most of the questions can be answered in multiple, and even conflicting, ways.
